A United States citizen was held last week at the JFK International Airport with just over 10 kilos of cocaine concealed in packets of baking powder in her luggage and she told authorities that she thought she was transporting diamonds for her father in Guyana.
Alizah Henry was charged on Monday with importing cocaine into the United States and she was released on a US$35,000 bond.
According to a sworn criminal complaint filed by Edward Gonzalez, a Special Agent with the US Department of Homeland Security, Henry touched down at the JFK airport in New York on a Caribbean Airlines flight on June 6th.
